“How I’ve explained it — it’s not just ISIS. All these groups, whether from the Philippines or Indonesia, all the way to Mali. These are all the same,” Abdullah said.

“Whether it’s ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, al-Nusra. Wherever you find them around the world — again as I said from Asia all the way to the African continent,” he continued. “There is either a full-out war or insurgency warfare.”

Abdullah suggested that this type of warfare is something that requires the alliance of virtually the rest of the world in order to fight and defeat the radical savagery.

“This is a global struggle that brings, as I’ve said many times, that brings Muslims, Christians, Jews, other religions fighting alongside us as we fight our civil war inside of Islam,” the king said.

Abdullah also mentioned in the interview that Jordan has hit a “tremendous” number of Islamic State group targets, but noted he would like to hit more. He then issued a seven-word prediction about upcoming attacks on the radicals.

“I think you’ll see an increasing tempo,” he said.

Yes! This is EXACTLY the type of response to radical Islam that is necessary, but unfortunately, isn’t adopted by every world leader — including our own.

President Barack Obama has been infamously weak — and oftentimes just plain wrong — regarding the war against radical Islamic terror, and the entire world is more vulnerable to attack because of it.

Thankfully, there are leaders like Abdullah who are taking up the slack where Obama has failed, and, hopefully, this time next year, the United States will once again have a leader who is willing to be strong against terrorism.
